In 1967 I had the good (?) luck to figure out the
workings of the Flying Saucer. The Propulsion
System and how they are powered by taking energy
right out of the air or aether.

I built a small unit, went to 150,000 volts, got
a heck of a poke and big bang was heard, the
light went out. The Power Transformer on a pole
150 fee away had blown up.

I was called out on business. When I came home a
new Transformer had been installed. A squirrel
was blamed. My TV and HiFi had been zapped.
I blamed the Power Company, bought a slew of
transistors and fixed the sets.

A few weeks later I went to 500,000 volts, this
time using long plastic rods to activate the
switches and a scream from the kids above my
workshop told me that the TV was on the blink
again and so was the HiFi. Then the telephone of
all my neighbours around started to ring. "Could
I come and have a look at their TV..?"

Being on of these Good Neighbors of which you
read in funny Novels, I fixed all sets for free
but did not experiment at home anymore.
Next experiment was in the "sticks".

I got a lightning strike on the tree under which
my Van was parked, set it afire, scared the
daylights out of me and some poor farm dogs,
which were instantly transformed into the fastest
whippets you have ever seen.

As a good Patriot I decided to offer the
invention as a Birthday Gift to Canada.
Canada was 100 years old!

It was looked over by the National Research
Council, the Scientific Arm of the Canadian
Government. They concluded I was an Idiot. Nobody
could ever invent the device I claimed to have
invented, it said in the Physics Books that it
was only a theoretical problem, originating by
Faraday in the mid 1800's.

No matter how many times I wrote and explained,
they finally wrote to tell me that my letters
would be henceforth in the wastebasket, unopened.

Eleven years later, my (US) Patent Lawyer phoned
me that the Patent was going to be granted.

He urged me to inform the Governments of Canada
and the USA immediately. "It is probably the
biggest single invention I ever will have worked
on and it could quite well be the Nobel Prize for
you!"

Dr. Kahn of the Hudson Institute had told him
that it had been evaluated at $600 Billion if the
USA would have it before Russia. That was for the
Space Application alone!

I wrote once more to the NRC. It was still
ridiculed. I asked my MP to intervene.

Four months after the patents were granted, the
President of the NRC, Dr. Schneider, wrote a
highly insulting letter (regarding me) to my MP.,
copy to the Premier, Mr. Trudeau, about this
idiot, who did not know anything about Physics
and could the Government do something to stop me
from pestering them with his nonsense?

I wrote a polite letter to this President,

stating that someone must have mislead him, as I
had the Patent now. I enclosed a copy of the
Patent.

A letter came back: "Yes, I had the Patent after
all, but, "they" were sure that it could not
work, no financial assistance!"

I offered to come to Ottawa and have lightning
come out of the clear blue sky.

No answer. They tried it and the NRC Buildings
were hit twelve times inside one hour. That item
was even in the Newspapers!

Now they had lost "face". They decided to keep on
denying and poohooing this minor invention.

In the USA it went to the Propulsion Lab of Nasa
in Cleveland, Ohio.

The learned gentlemen there were aghast.

Who would need them if we could fly to the Moon
in an hour or Mars inside a day?

They were being paid big bucks and were not going
to kill the Goose that laid Golden Eggs and (of
course not) kickbacks from the different
suppliers.

"Not interested, than you for the copy of your
Patent!"

After the space disasters I believe that they
decided to experiment with it and not knowing
abou precautions to be taken blew their own Power
Transformer Station to Kingdom come and a poor
innocent tree was blamed for the blackout.

One year after I got the Patents I went finally
on the Web and read about a certain MR. Tesla.

I realized that he had discovered the same thing.
Two years later, while in the hospital with a
heart-attack, due to a severe allergic reaction
with Cashews. of which I had eaten a tin instead
of making a TV dinner when my wife was visiting
friends 600 Miles away, my wife came back home.
She found the stack of rejecting and insulting
letters and concluded that they were the reason
for the heart attack. She did not want me to work
on it anymore, the strain was too much for her.
Love won.

She passed away two years ago and now I am
working on it again.

First a unit that takes power out of the air to
keep an industrial device with a 72 volt battery
constantly charged.

Next, a unit for home power. Then the real
electric car like Tesla had. Next the power for
air- and spacecraft. The fourth industrial
revolution is coming.

To ensure a long and happy life, I have given the
complete circuitry to trusted people in Canada,
the USA and Europe.

If anything would happen to me it will be
splashed all over the internet.

The units will be leased, so as to get a constant
income and keep the Tax man happy.

Here in Canada the Ontario Provincial Government
is not interested, the Politicians have their
fingers in the Energy Pie, e-mail and faxes are
not answered. The Federal Government referred me
to the Minister of the Environment who is all
hopped up on getting the funding of many billions
of dollars to bury Nuclear waste. No answer from
him either. For 100 Million Dollars we could fly
it to the Moon or dump it at Jupiter.

A real spacecraft can be as big as a football
field and be crewed like a Naval Cruiser.

Don't worry, the US Navy People were not
interested, neither were the US Marines
interested in a floating of flying vehicle to be
used in hilly country like Iraq or Afghanistan.

The poor Oil Barons in Calgary got $510 Million
to fight pollution. With $5 million I will get
better results than they ever will get.

Patents are expired but I left one insignificant
item out to ensure that an unfriendly power would
not be able to use it.

When I get enough capital I will have to take at
least 1000 patents out. There are myriads of
applications. It is like inventing the wheel.
Of course I might be on the wrong planet this
time around.

You also will understand that it is not something
that should go to a University.
Any disgruntled student could zap all the
Computers, Cell-phones and even car computers.

The US Patent number is 4,095,162

Canadian Patent 1,043,434
I think that it is more of a Professional
Jalousie than anything else.

After doing a stint in the Netherland Marines
(trained in Camp LeJeune for the invasion of
Japan, which was stopped by the Atom Bomb), I
went for a few years to Indonesia, came home and
finished High School in Holland.

(Only 24 subjects, all compulsory for five years,
most subjects are by that time on the level of
two years University).

Discovered in my spare time that a Diode could be
made to amplify on short waves. Picked up daily
for one hour Police Broadcasts from New York and
Chicago on the two or three meter band. Built a
circuit that would give one Audio Power Output
Tube a push-pull output.

After graduation I trained for a few years as a
Steinway Tuner/ Technician and invented the
"Tuning Felt" now used by professional Piano
tuners.

Then I got a position at Philips as a Techwriter.
After three days, reading the Philips Technical
Publications, where it was explained why they had
a light colored Mask around the outside of the
picture tube, I suggested the use of a
Fluorescent Tube around the picture tube and was
called an idiot. It would give distortion and
interference.

Later used by Sylvania as the "Halo-Light TV"
The Push-pull circuit was no good, as their
calculations showed no output. Stupid idea!

Later used in the US as the Circlotron amplifier.

Two months and thirty ideas later I suggested the
Diode Amplifier and was old that "Every idiot
knew that a diode could not amplify!"

I decided to emigrate to the USA.

The waiting list was as long as the distance from
Florida to Hudson Bay, I went to Canada instead.
Then my stupid inventions were used and published
and the Philips Engineers decided to look in all
these other stupid ideas of mine.

Yes, a diode could be made to amplify on FM and
Radar frequencies.

The Varactor Diode Amplifier, now used in every
Radar Set around the world. No credit to me.
In 1967 while trying to get funding from the
Ontario Development Corporation, the Degreed
Engineer told me that I could not have invented
it as I had no degrees.

When I countered that neither Edison or Bell had
any degrees, he told me angrily: "Do not compare
yourself with these men, they were REAL
inventors!" No funding.

ADVISORY: With any
technology, you take a high risk to invest significant time or money
unless (1) independent testing has thoroughly corroborated the
technology, (2) the group involved has intellectual rights to the
technology, and (3) the group has the ability to make a success of
the endeavor.

All
truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
